An Arbitrary Guide To This Weekend’s New Releases
Another traffic jam at the multiplex this weekend… After last week’s 7 wide releases, this Friday sees 4 more jostling for a Top Ten spot. And that means a tough climb for any of last Friday’s releases that found themselves on the outside looking in last Monday. Factor in Columbus Day weekend and a day off on Monday, and Beverly Hills Chihuahua could easily stick around at #1 despite (or more likely, because of) the crowded marketplace. Body of Lies should provide Chihuahua’s main

Dennis Quaid Slams Ex Meg Ryan for Dishing About His Infidelity
Ryan recently told InStyle that "Dennis was not faithful to me for a long time, and that was very painful." She explained to Diane Sawyer that she just wanted to "fill in the gaps for people." But Quaid tells New York's Daily News, "It was eight years ago, and I find it unbelievable that Meg continues publicly to rehash and rewrite the story of our relationship. "Also, I find it regrettable that our son, Jack, has to be reminded in a public way of the turmoil and pain that every child feels in a divorce."

Why I’m not pumped for Body of Lies
Body of Lies comes out tomorrow starring heavy weights Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe.  Directed by Ridley Scott (American Gangster, Kingdom of Heaven, Gladiator) this movie doesn’t need an introduction to how star-powered this high production really is.  BUT, why doesn’t it seem like the big blockbuster like it should be?
